FROM JOHN MAYER TO TONY ROMO TO JOHN MAYER- JESSICA SIMPSON

2009-07-15T20:36:00.004+08:00

Flying into Los Angeles on Thursday, Romo quickly made up for lost time with Simpson but their reunion quickly took a turn for the worse. “They were hanging out and he picked up her phone and she got defensive about it,” the source revealed. “Tony found messages from John and went ballistic.”

While the couple has had their fair share of rocky patches during their relationship, the idea of Simpson possibly cheating with Mayer was the straw that broke the camel’s back: “Tony dumped her right then. He walked out and that was it.”

The next day, was supposedly Jessica Simpson's birthday and it was a Barbie-Ken birthday theme. Jessica twittered :barbie party didn't happen, but i turned 29 and feel like i am on top of the world yelling I LOVE GETTING OLDER

Since them, Romo has been taking comfort in his group of guy pals who are in town with him while he films a Pepsi commercial and attends the ESPYS on Wednesday. Since the breakup, he and his crew have been spotted all around town from club MyHouse to dinner at Yamashiro to partying at the Key Club.

2009-07-15T19:18:00.004+08:00

"The Cheesy Bites ad is totally fun just like the pizza where you can twist, pull and pop, cheese filled bites into your mouth. I am aware of the success that the campaign got in the US and I hope it is even more successful here in India," said Lara.Cheesy Bites is a unique pizza with 22 cheese-filled bites that form the pull-apart crust.

In the US, these were made popular by Simpson, who played a sassy waitress in the TV commercial. The Indian advertisement will have Lara in the same avatar. Cheesy Bites is already available in the Pizza Hut outlets, but the TV commercial will go on air later this week. Be sure to comeback here for the video.

OFFICIAL : BEBO IN BIPASHA OUT IN RACE 2

2009-07-15T18:58:00.004+08:00

Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan was so keen to revive the "Race" magic with Abbas-Mustan that he has convinced the producers to rope them in as directors. He reveals that girlfriend Kareena Kapoor will also feature in the movie."They understand the pulse of the plot. 'Race' was a fast-paced action-adventure caper. Not too many filmmakers in Bollywood would've done such a wonderful job of it," Saif told IANS.

"Yes, Kareena will be part of 'Race 2'. We're yet to flesh out the details. But 'Race 2' has to be bigger and larger than 'Race'. Otherwise no point in making it," he added. Bipasha Basu's character has been written out of the script to make way for Kareena. Produced by Tips Industries Ltd, "Race", which also had Akshaye Khanna, Anil Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, turned out to be one of the big hits of 2008.

Black cat Bipasha will surely be unhappy about her not being in the sequel. After all her character was exceptionally good in Race.

Aishwarya Rai in desperate for a NEW BEGINNING. Yes we shall not complain on how bloated and old she looks now, because we respect that an aging woman is the most natural process on earth. But it's about time she gets REPLACED.

They came not to lay Michael Jackson to rest but to celebrate his life, with the rest of the world.

I have never heard anything like this before- 16,000 people in one stadium-silent to say their final goodbye to the king of pop. My King, My Hero, Only One Legend- Michael Jackson. I'm leaving you with a few quotes who spoke at Michael Jackson's memorial and a peek-coverage by ES musica video:

"Both of us needed to be adults very early, but when we were together, we were two little kids having fun ... MJ's laugh was the sweetest and purest of anyone I've known," actress Brooke Shields.

"Michael was the biggest star on earth," singer and actress Queen Latifah.

"With the abrupt absence of our treasure, though we are many, each of us is achingly alone, piercingly alone," words written by poet Maya Angelou and read at Jackson's memorial at the Staples Centre.

"Michael Jackson went into orbit and never came down," Berry Gordy, founder of Motown records who launched the careers of The Jackson 5.

"Michael, we'll see you in heaven!" one audience member shouted out. Others responded with whoops and shouts of "yeah" and "all right". Everything about this ceremony was, for Jackson fans, tinged with magic and instant nostalgia.

Tinsel Gurus was one of the 1.6 million fans registered for tickets to Michael Jackson's memorial service over the two-day registration period that ended Saturday. The ticket winners were notified by e-mail Sunday. Although the event organizers have warned against it, some ticket holders have posted intentions to sell their seats online .

MICHAEL JACKSON SPIRIT ROAMING AROUND NEVERLAND ??

2009-07-07T20:07:00.004+08:00

Tinsel Gurus was not prepared to address the question that some are currently posing: Is Michael Jackson's ghost haunting Neverland?
The spectral figure fleets across the hall before disappearing during CNN’s Inside Neverland, which featured an interview with Larry King and Jermaine Jackson.

Fans were deep in debate on web forums over whether the Thriller star’s ghost was really walking the halls, or if it was just a shadow. On the Michael Joseph Jackson Board one fan said: “It's clearly not a shadow because, yeah, it's not, there's no one there to make a shadow, plus it's completely see through.” Another user said: “Maybe it was Michael, telling us that he is still here with us in spirit.” “You guys are craaaaaazy! It's too tall to be Michael, his spirit isn't roaming neverland, it's resting and at peace. Only disturbed souls creep around,” poster RebeccaMJ wrote.

UPDATE: Jason and Grant, the stars of Syfy's "Ghost Hunters" told PopWrap: "it's just someone walking in the far room casting their shadow. We see this all the time. The person would be on the left side of the far room, out of sight blocking a light. We see this a lot."

LEAVE DEBBIE ROWE ALONE !!!!

2009-07-07T19:28:00.002+08:00

Her attorney sends us this statement:
"The onslaught of media attention has made it clear her attendance would be an unnecessary distraction to an event that should focus exclusively on Michael's legacy. Debbie will continue to celebrate Michael's memory privately."

PETE KING IS THE ONLY 1 to 1,000,000 NOT MOURNING FOR MICHAEL JACKSON

2009-07-07T19:14:00.004+08:00

Pete King says Michael Jackson was a pervert, a pedophile, and that we should be focusing on more important people.

"I really think the media has disgraced itself. I think that too many people in public life have made fools out of themselves by talking about Michael Jackson as if he’s some kind of hero. There’s nothing good about this guy. He may have been a good singer, he did some dancing.

Bottom line is, would you let your child or grandchild be in the same room with Michael Jackson? What are we glorifying him for?

So anyway, lets take some time out to really look to the people who do make us a great country. The men and women of the armed forces, police, firefighters, teachers who work in really rough neighborhoods. People who volunteer with dying cancer patients, people who work in aids clinics. They’re the ones we should be glorifying, not some pervert like Michael Jackson."

KAMBAKKHT ISHQ IS JUST NAUSEATING AND UNBEARABLE

2009-07-03T21:24:00.006+08:00

Dumb-bakkht Ishq (as some reviewers have nicknamed the film) is all about SEXFEST, and not "feel the love".Let's start with the whole experience. We came, we settled in and the cinema hall was half full. We had our large popcorn ready to laugh, dance and cry.

Before we go on, i'll like to remind you of Akshay Kumar, who had two releases this year which is CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA and TASVEER.Both films had an insipid affair at the box office, and Kambakkht Ishq is his last chance to wow us this year. Unfortunately, his character was wasted.

KAMBAKKHT ISHQ is one of the first films in Hindi cinema having four scriptwriters.Four- DUMB DOG SCRIPTWRITERS who have written a childish-cheesy dialogues,and a FULL HOUSE sexual connotations.The heroine and hero refer to each other as ‘dog’ and ‘bitch’, and you wonder why isn't this film NC 16.

Get this straight-Doesn't mean you roped in Hollywood actors, your movie's going to be a hit. Yes- Sylvester Stallone, along with Brandon Routh of Superman fame and confused old tranny- Denise Richards are integrated well in the narrative, about an Indian stuntman working in Hollywood BUT the film is a major disappointment in terms of content.

Bollywood is Bollywood, Hollywood is hollywood. Why does Bollywood want to venture into 21st-century style: kissing; women,stripping down to their undies, swearing in english-Where's the Masti, where's the KAMINI? Where is the "ish-style"?

Oh and about the ever TOO MUCH EXPRESSIONS Kareena Kapoor,why does she have to reprise the dreadful ‘ Yeh Mera Dil ’ act in a self-spoof song ( Bebo Main Bebo, Dil Mera Lelo ). I agree, she looks exceptionally better pyhsically than her thick drumstick thighs during the film DON-but where' the originality?

Why do a film that has been done? Why Kiss just because it's a Bolly-Holly film? Why does one minute Kareena puts on a pink lipstick the other minute it's brown? And does surgeons put on a BLOODY WATCH whenever they perform a surgery?

It is surprising how veteran actors like Boman Irani, Kirron Kher, Javed Jaffry agreed to be part of this film. Javed Jaffrey and Boman Irani ham hysterically and are pathetically wasted. I'm very dissapointed,if i have my way i'll demand a refund!!Honestly the film is for cheesy TEENAGERS who cannot differentiate who is Amrita Rao and Amrita Arora and who cries at the end of the film-cehh!! We give Kambakkht Ishq 2 out of 5 samosas.
